We sat in silence for a minute. Should I ask her about Jen? Maybe for advice. Maybe clarification on whether Jen really likes me or not. Although Nick wouldn’t lie and wouldn’t say anything unless he was pretty certain.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Yeah, sure.” She chirped.
“Well, my friend told me that someone I used to like, likes me again. She’s great and we’ve become friends again this week and stuff, like we used to be. I’ve been reminded of reasons why I used to like her, but before I found out..well, nevermind, anyway, I’m thinking about asking the person out. What should I do?” I asked, figuring she probably knew I was talking about Jen, girls have big mouths and can't keep secrets! And not wanting to mention I’d started liking her before I had found out.
~Erin’s point of view~
I was kind of shocked he was asking Me. I can’t believe Nick told him I liked him! But he had just said he was thinking about asking me out, right? “Umm.. if you like the person then, yeah, you should definetely ask her out. Let her know how you feel.” I told him, smiling from the inside.
After an hour, we got back to ground level! Everyone else had left. Heather and Nick probably assumed we’d gone on home, and Amy and AJ probably just didn’t want to be here when we arrived. It wasn’t too far, so we walked.
“Hey, where have you guys been?” Nick greeted, back at the beach house.
“Well, we thought, ya know since we’re afraid of heights: What the heck? Let’s go flying!” Brian laughed. Everyone was inside watching tv.
“Enjoy your ride?” Amy grinned.
“We’ll get you back!” I promised.
“You guys want to go out to eat?” Kevin asked. “Or we could do another cook-out.”
“I just wanna stay here, so lets cook-out.” Tracy said. We, more or less, all agreed. Kevin and Brian went out to put some burgers on the grill. Amy and AJ decided to go make-out. Tracy, Howie, and Jen continued to watch tv. Just me, Nick, and Heather in the kitchen.
“So, Nick, had any interesting conversations about me lately?” I accused.
He blushed. “Umm..why?”
I told him about me and Brian’s conversation. “..I can’t believe you told him I liked him! I never told you that!” I said, quiet enough so Bri and Kev wouldn’t hear me out on the deck.
“But he said he’s going to ask you out, that’s great! And besides I didn't tell him You liked him, I said someone he used to like liked him!” Nick said.
“Dude, that’s not the point!”
“I’m sorry! I just didn’t want to see you two miss your chance again.” Nick said sincerely. I knew he had just been trying to be a good friend.
“So when you leave again, are you going to actaully write me this time?” I smiled, changing the subject.
“Well I did last time. I slipped my letters in with Brian’s, so like his, I’m guessing mine was lost in the mail or read by some phyco!” he laughed.
